Mario Kart Source aims to bring the fun and excitement of the Mario Kart series to the PC though the powerful Source engine used in Half Life 2. We hope to create the ultimate version of Mario Kart (MK) by combining all of the best aspects into one game. We're not simply recreating one version of MK, but using the best parts of each. We want to have all the traditional weapons, characters, and maps but also bring out new weapons that make game-play interesting. We're redesigning the maps so that they keep their appeal, but truly utilize the power of the source engine. We plan to have at least 16 different characters, all the ones you know and love as well as some others from the Super Mario World. We want this mod to reflect what you guys want in a Mario Kart game. Have some cool weapon ideas? What special characters do you want? What about maps? We want to know! And now the question on everybody's mind, a beta release. “When is it?” “Is it a closed beta?”...
New characters, maps, animations, and music. You're sure to enjoy this New Years release from the MKS Team. Happy New Year!

Currently, our coding is on hold until the release of the Episode 2 SDK. However, before we stopped, OneEyed was working on a new movement system that allows for much more control and more realistic kart movement. The Ep2 SDK hasn't stopped us from working on other areas.
We're proud to release some new characters along with some updated ones. Please remember, that all "Stats" are not final and are subject to change.
We've also been busy updating our maps. Here are some shots of the improved Double Deck, as well as the new Banshee Boardwalk and Peach's Garden.
Dadude/Nova has been hard at work on some level music. Here are two samples.
We're currently working on a video of our new gameplay system, so stay tuned and you'll see it soon.

I had completely forgot about this but now im excited again.Good work guys Looking forward to release :)
Brilliant work guys... will be a blast to play...
the music brings back the old time of playing mariokart
awesome guys!!! I only think the mario model isn't very good, all the others look cool ;)
how long til its released?
great work guys! :)
Good Work love the models and maps can`t wait untill release
thanks for your feedback friends, we are unsure of the release date but it WILL be released, we have come too far and have too much content to let it slip. Happy new year
Nice... I can't wait to play the mod^^
Awesome, something is slighly wrong with mario's body, but you've really captured the style...
Wow, this mod looks pretty awesome. I'll be tracking this, cant wait for the release!
Awesome :)
So i guess EP2 is required to play this? :/
I hope not :/
Why shouold EP2 a requirement?
I guess it's build upon Source SDK Base - meaning that you can play it if you have any Source-game, doesn't matter.
Gotta admit - this looks amazing
It wont require ep2 to play, just any source game. we will be updating to ep2 engine as soon as its released. Thanks for your feedback !
Great work! Now we want to play :D
Toadette looks hot
This looks fantastic! brings back lots of memories already :).
Although I think you should probably tidy up the mario model, it is a tad blocky and the texture is somewhat fuzzy.
A bit strange to see Half-Life 2 like textures and skybox in some maps, but overall its very pretty and true to Mario Style. Didn't expect Mario and Co to look that good on Source! Great work on the character models!
I think the Mario model needs some work other then that its looking good :)
Really like the music aswell, good job guys and keep it coming.
Yeah whats with that mario model? Everything else looks fantastic though.
dunno what happened i think its the wrong picture.
No it's the good picture, but Mario is difficult to make, and it's the most important character (because it's MARIO kart).
To please the MKS Community i'll redo entirely the mario model. I've just reshaped the old model (you can see the older ugly one here : Moddb.com so that reshaping is not so bad) because of existing animations, doing that i wasn't free to do what i wanted. But with all your comment the mario model will be redone in a closer future.
